Women in the Arts Museum

Have you ever been to Washington, DC? Well I haven't, but when I do go to visit, I will definitely take some time out to visit the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

The National Museum of Women in the Arts, in Washington, DC, is the only museum in the world that focuses on the achievements of women artists. The museum's permanent collection includes more than 3,000 works of art, from sculpture to paintings to photography, and covers the 16th through 21st centuries.

Isn't that cool?! I wish there was one in NY, but now I have a reason to travel. In the closing of National Women's History Month, I hope you've all been inspired to learn more about the great things the women of this world accomplish! Here are some works from the NMWA. Happy viewing.

W.O.W.: Color Me Bacon

Just when you thought the Bacon Syrup was a W.O.W. moment, we bring you...

Colored Bacon

Neil Caldwell came up with this idea and as simple as it you would think that someone would have done it already. He has created the color wheel of bacon! Neil is a graphic designer and that is real colored bacon.

As you can see the finished product to the right, the bacon has a very interesting look to it. Ever had trouble getting your kids to eat their meat? Well, we can just about guarantee that the kiddies won’t turn down a rainbow of sweet, sweet bacon.

For more on this "dish" check out Bacon Today (Yes, there is seriously a website dedicated to just bacon).

eyeReview: VYP Photography

“Photography connects my mind, body, and soul. It allows me to give a voice to the voiceless, reach the unreachable, and explain complex thoughts of a life in one frame.”, says Vernon Young, Jr., owner of VYP Photography.

The recent graduate of Syracuse University realized he had a passion for understanding people at a young age, which eventually led him to photojournalism.

“I got my start in photography through the United States Air Force. I began taking photos before joining.”


He continued, “I prayed that God would connect all of my talents, and he showed me a camera. Once I picked it up, I never looked back. No matter how many people discouraged me I continued to shoot.”

The talented Mr. Young has a knack for taking the absolute essence of a person and turning it into a work of art. This is strongly reflected in his work.

He explains, “I want every customer to leave knowing that they prepared for a great session, and they have a great set of imagery to hang on their walls forever. I want the customer to leave saying, ‘Oh yeah, that could be a great shot right there.’ Each shoot should be fun, affordable, but most of all memorable.”

He acknowledges that he has had a lot of experience, shooting everything from fashion to nature. Still, his biggest dream lies right in the White House, and he encourages young photographers to learn and share their knowledge with others.

“My dream shoot would be to document President Barack Obama. I would love to go into his house and become a fly on the wall. I would like to show the world that Barack is a human being, and I know visually he would express some things that he will never be able to verbally say.”

He continued, “I was once told: you never learn anything to keep it to yourself, you were taught to share it. A young photographer should find what he or she is most passionate about and shoot it to death. Grow from each portion of what he or she is familiar with and then branch out. Some people turn those beginnings into series that last a lifetime.”

Very effFUNNY

You should get a chuckle out of this. I think I would die of laughter if I had a student write this about my class.


[It reads "If I had one hour to live, I'd spend it in this class because it feels like an eternity."]

Turn the House Around

How do you make a house a home when it's turned up-side-down? I guess the same way you would if it wasn't. This bizarre upside down house was created on the grounds of a German zoo. The roof is reinforced with steel girders.

Local carpenter Gerhard Mordhorst and his colleagues Gesellse Splettstößer and Manfred Kolax put the unusual building together. 'It was a challenge for us,' Mr Mordhorst said. 'You had to constantly think of the mirror image.' They described the job as the 'craziest' one they had been asked to do and found the bathroom the trickiest to put together because of bulky items like the shower.

The 'crazy house' is reminiscent of a home described in Roald Dahl's children's book The Twits. In the children's story a group of monkeys are forced to hang upside down by their owners. They have their revenge by sticking all of the couple's furniture to the ceiling and convince them to stand on their heads. The 'crazy' house was thought up by Hamburg investor Dirk Oster. He will open it to the public on March 30.

Lego my Eggo

L i T E R A L L Y
The Lego Kitchen was created by Munchausen, a duo formed by Parisian designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti, where they customized a basic IKEA kitchen island bar and then spend a full week covering it with more than 20,000 Lego pieces. Pretty cool huh?

What do you think of this creation?
